no the higher the ohm the more resistance in the speaker

the lower the resistance the more power it will use

Can you wire a dvc 2 ohm sub woofer to a dvc 4 ohm sub woofer?

You can, but you may damage your amp. If you wire them in parallel (both wires from each connected to the amp) then you will have an effective resistance less than 2 ohms. If you wire them in series then you will have an effective resistance of 6 ohms. Resistance that is too low draws more power than the output is rated for. Resistance that is too high reduces the volume and may distort the sound.

Can you wire a dvc 4 ohm sub woofer and a svc 8 ohm sub woofer together on a 4 ohm amp?

Sorry, but there is really no 4 ohm amplifier. We use only voltage bridging. The amplifier will have an output impedance of around 0.04 ohms. In hi-fi we have always impedance bridging. Zout

What type of amp can i use to power 3 12'' sub woofers?

You need to know how much power the sub woofers are rated to handle. Choose a power amp that can supply sufficient power.A power amp designed specifically for sub woofer use delivers all of it's power at the lower frequencies where a sub woofer operates. They may also have better cooling since they operate at higher power than full range amps.

Set up 2 4 ohm sub to 2 ohm?

If you are trying to pump a 2.4 ohm sub with a 2 ohm rated amplifier you should be fine. The rating on the amplifier is the least resistance it should have on its load. Anything less than 2 ohms would fry your amp.
